Photo of Ray Suarez by Emily Zoladz of the Grand Rapids Press | NewsBusters.orgTaxpayer-subsidized journalist Ray Suarez (pictured at right) thinks concerns over Barack Obama's liberalism are transparent proxies for something more sinister: racism. What's more, the PBS "NewsHour" reporter suggested that McCain running mate Gov. Sarah Palin is the campaign's point woman charged with "pil[ing] on the doubt" about Obama's fitness for office.

So reported Grand Rapids Press reporter Juanita Westaby, who covered the October 8 Suarez speech held at the "non-creedal liberal" Fountain Street Church (emphasis mine):

GRAND RAPIDS -- Following an unpopular president, supporting a costly war, and now facing a financial crisis at home, Sen. John McCain's race for the presidency should be in worse shape.

"What makes John McCain plausible is Barack Obama," news anchor Ray Suarez told a local crowd Wednesday.

The "pseudo controversies" about Obama's background are symbols for a "racial calculus" hard at work in U.S. politics.

Opinions about Obama's inexperience, his childhood in Indonesia, and the persistent but untrue rumors of him being Muslim are stand-ins for something his detractors cannot admit, Suarez said.

Particularly, "religion has become a proxy for race," he said.

[...]

Suarez spoke at Fountain Street Church as part of the Diversity lecture series. He is the senior correspondent for PBS's "News Hour with Jim Lehrer" and former host of NPR's "Talk of the Nation" program.

Suarez said Republicans are leaving it to vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin to "pile on the doubt" about Obama's religion.

Westaby didn't note anywhere in his speech that Suarez produced evidence that the McCain campaign has fostered or encouraged the most outlandish and inaccurate rumors swirling around about Obama's background.

Speaking of religion, Suarez's venue was well-suited to be preaching to the left-wing choir. According to the church's Web site, the goal of its "worship and proclamation" are ensuring that "[t]hemes of liberation and oppression such as sexism, racism, and  homophobia are addressed."

 I don't understand why they come up with the phrases.  What the heck does "racial calculus" mean?

I'll event a new phrase for the way the MSM treats Sarah Palin and call it "sexist algebra"!

"Racial Calculus" defined

Here's what "racial calculus" means:

Every comment critical of Obama or revealing inconvenient truths about him=racism.

Simple as that.

When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.

Racial calculus must mean

Racial calculus must mean banks discriminating against people because they have no means to repay loans.

Ray,

Nothing done by the Obama campaign is Racist? HaHaHaHa. You make me laugh. They were the first to make an issue out of this non-issue when Barak pointed out how he was different from Presidents on currency etc. Dems have piled on sexist, ageist, and devient sexual comments and innuendo day after day and now you're calling the Republican campaign racist when they have never made an issue of Barak's race? It looks like projection on your part to me.

race

Barak is DYING to make this a race issue!  I can just hear him and his supporters crying.. boo hoo.. why won't they say it, please say it, just SAY it, why won't somebody say it? Wahhh..   

'That one' would love it if someone called him the secret word. He'd latch on to that like black on beans. So they have to play these lame blame games.  Barak is a therapist's dream, but it would be best to have the therapeutic alliance on a phone, ...through a plexiglass window.    

"I have a bracelet too" ..Barak Obama, Psychopath

Assessor,

Oh, yeah, that's the exact truth. Obama has been waiting to make this a "racial" race almost since his campaign started. I think that he's staked so much on his color, he almost needs someone to point it out to validate himself. He was hoping that Hillary would do it, but she let him down.

So now it's up to McCain. The "racism" charge, if it could stick, is the only thing that will put him over the top for sure. Just getting this close to Election Day without a real racism example that will stick is making them nervous. They don't want to risk losing the election by waiting to see what the voting says.

But McCain won't oblige, so the MSM has to carry the water once more. Anyway, anytime they can possibly turn an issue to show a "racial component," they're at the ready.

What I find puzzling is, they're throwing away any semblance of objectivity. They're so in the Obama camp, they can't possibly deny bias after this. It's almost like a suicide mission. For Obama? What?

I just can't understand why they have such a stake in it. Maybe that would make another therapist's dream.  ;^)

 

"... smells like.... victory."Lt. Col. Bill Kilgore, Apocalypse Now

Why?

Why is it that I only hear Democrats talking about race, even when the subject is something else? 

 I heard an interview with Harry Reid today, who injected race into a discussion about the economy and who is better to "fix" it, Obama or McCain.  The interviewer never mentioned race until he defended himself, telling Reid that he, the interviewer would be the one called a racist and he, the interviewer never mentioned Franklin Raines race.

If I'd a guess, I'd think

If I'd a guess, I'd think that they're trying to make race "an issue" so that it will make people feel sorry for the poor, picked-on black candidate and swing their vote for him. Even if people aren't aware they're being manipulated that way, it happens.

Well, you just don't know your race!!!

I believe this election is going to redefine what is racist.  First of all, "hockey mom" is racist.  How many black folk play hockey?  Well, I'm waiting?????????   You can probably count them on one hand, so just saying you're a hockey mom is racist. 

Let's talk about "Joe Six-pack"  we know that's racist.  Most black folk drink Malt Liquor, ever hear of MD20/20>???  Anyway, Joe-SixPack has to be another racist comment. 

Haven't you noticed, both Republican Candidates are white?  That pretty well tells you where the racist comments are coming from because black people and their friends never make racist comments. 

So, let's get smart here and stop being racist.  

Democrats: Stuck on Stupid since 2000.

MD 20/20

When my mother in-law was alive, she and her card party friends used to drink MD 20/20 spritzers while they played cards and none of them were black. It made an inexpensive alchoholic drink.

Calculus...

It's impossible to "factor" out the "differentials" of journalism and propoganda anymore.  There are no "limits" to what they will do to get us to the "critical point" of electing Obama.

We must find "continuity" amongst conservatives, or resign ourselves to "function" within an "irrational" socialist condition, "orthogonol" to that which we have come to know as "real."

How far can this tactic go?

In my city, Richards disposal, a trash collecting company, was called before the city council because of complaints that it wan't picking up some trash. Because its African-American owned, it was painted as a racist issue instead of a contractual issue.

 This is how far it can go. This is how far it is going. This is how far it will continue to go if no one stops this bullying.

Palin a Female Hitler, Speaking at Nazi Rallys!

Palin's rallys remind me of seeing a Nazi rally with her in the role of a female Hitler.  The way the crazed mob sing-songs her name over and over again -- Sarah, Sarah, Sarah!  In a very dazed and crazed way, almost like being hypnotized!  Yet this is the very same Palin who is so illiterate that she is unable to go on Meet the Press, like every other vice presidential candiate who has gone before her.  

You lose

The Nazi comparison is immediate grounds for losing any debate....so you've forfeited before you even got going.  Too bad.

So what do the chants of "Oh-Bah-Mah, Oh-Bah-Mah" remind you of, eh, baca?

Go ahead, thrash around a little bit.  We don't mind.

David Gregory, do you know which damn network you lie for? ~ Uncle Jimbo, @Blackfive

 

Obama worship

Add to that Obama's grandiosity, the meticulously prepared campaign propaganda, and the thugs who will attempt to silence critics and vandalize vehicles with McCain sticker, and it's clear that Obama is much more like Hitler than Palin will ever be.

When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.

You've got that right, nk

But leave it to our resident libsters to throw out incendiary comments.

Sheesh, we need a better class of troll, here.

I even heard that she had Youth Corps that were pledging an oath to her and small kids singing about their glorious leader.  It was very much like Hitler.

Anyone who doesn't like Obama is a racist

paulejb

If 100% of American voters do not pull the lever for Obama than the entire country is racist. If you don't believe that just ask the MSM & the black caucus. My advice is to vote for the old guy & the hot chick since the media & the race hustlers are going to call you a racist anyway. By the way, if a black person does not vote for McCain does that mean that they are racist?

no they would be

no if they dont vote for obama they would be considered an uncle tom or a house slave ....not my words but harry bellafonte talking about colin powel or condi rice .. hated to even type that because it would be construed that i said that .. god its getting very confusing

if he wins are all bets off

if he wins are all bets off? can this perseption that minoritys cant succeed because of racisim finally end. or have we just found a winning statergy for he left? run a radical and if hes black claim any attempt to show them for what they are is racism!

if someone doesn't vote for

if someone doesn't vote for Mc/Palin they are being AGE-IST and SEXIST! 

Journalism is the opium of the liberals

Who are the real racists?

Before the civil war, there were literally thousands of rich, black land owners in the USA, who, you got it, owned slaves. Maybe the racist baters should try that on for size.

My real point is that when one points out a fact about Obama that someone does not like you for revealing, is the monent someone yells "racist". But that is the moment they are the real racist, that is, they must be black and they must be supporting Obama, not because he is smart, right for the country, not really a communist, but because he is black!!! Blacks voting for Obama, only because he is black, is like whites voting for McCain, only because he is white.

Polls show that 95% of blacks are likely to vote for Obama, while whites are more evenly divided, mostly along party lines. So who are the real racists in this country?

 

Why ?

Would anybody vote for a communist, just because they are black?

Umm...

For 97% of African-Americans, the answer is:

"just because they are black."

For 90% of non-AA's who vote for him, the answer is:

"he's a communist."

For all of the rest who vote for him, the answer is:

"cause Katie and Tom and Brian and Chris and all those nice folks told me to, and change is such a nice thing and all."

Suarez should be careful----

with illiterares like me. I looked up the word and here is the definition I found:

calculus

2.
Pathology. a stone, or concretion, formed in the gallbladder, kidneys, or other parts of the body.

I must admit that Obama is a stone to me. Somewhat like a gallstone, but he gets me a little bit lower. Is there such a thing as rectal stones????

I'm not voting for him because ...

he has a funny name and big ears.  What does that make me?

"What does that make me?"

Smart.

(But I only read your subject line.)

 

"... smells like.... victory."Lt. Col. Bill Kilgore, Apocalypse Now

   The obama supporters

   The obama supporters are doing to the 'race' weapon what defenders of bill clinton did to the 'sexist' weapon, they are neutralizing it.  By claiming any critism of obama is 'racist' people are now starting to ignore the charge.  No longer will politicians and other leaders have to cower in fear of a minority charging them with racism.

Piling on doubt... Hell,

Piling on doubt...

Hell, that's easy. I put together a small clearing-house of sorts for you to send your friends to concerning Obama. Be warned, it ain't a pretty picture! *Obama - Communist Puppet*

 

 

Making Fun of AGW http://giovanniworld.wordpress.com/  

I am happy

I am happy that Sarah Palin keeps saying what needs to be
said about Barack Obama. She is not saying that he is a Muslim; she is just
pointing to the fact that Obama has some radical friends and might be a radical
himself. That’s not racism does are the facts, and Americans need to know the
fact. The next debate is the last chance McCain has and he needs to shove it
down Americans throat that during these troubling times Obama is the last man
you want to be president.

I'm taking MY gloves off!

thinks concerns over Barack Obama's liberalism are transparent proxies for something more sinister: racism.

If racism is all they can talk about then I say we kill Affirmative Action and bring back 'whites only' sections in public places.  I hate to say that but I am so damn tired of being called a racist when I'm not. Never was.  

Now, I'm ashamed of myself, but gah!

 

Obama follows the methods of a communist's rise to power

Please understand that if I were a black, I would feel so much better if a black man became president, especially in light of the history of my race in America. And I have no racism towards people who are not my color and even took by black friend to Paris, France, on a vacation recently, and have many, close, black friends, including those I grew up with.


In fact, if a person, say like Colin Powell were running for president, even as a Democrat, I would certainly vote for him over McCain.


My concern about Obama, however, is what is troubling my heart. I can read very well-documented evidence that Mr Obama is not a “nice guy.” So if I vote for McCain, it is because I consider him simply the better of the two for America, even if McCain is not "perfect."


The concerns which are truly troubling my heart have to do with Obama's well-documented history:

•    Obama was schooled at an early age in a terrorism style lifestyle.

•    Obama worked diligently, side-by-side, with the domestic (white) terrorist and socialist, Bill Ayers, for more than 4 years (saying that was a casual acquaintance is a lie) and even launched his career from Mr Ayers living room. And even if that work was not terrorist in nature, the fact that Obama would legitamize a domestic terrorist is plainly unacceptable in this day of terorism and 9-11, especially since Mr Ayers is unrepentant and bragged on 9-11 that the Weather Underground did not do enough destruction.

•    Obama gave a "pep talk" to a crowd of his cousin's terrorist followers in Kenya in 2006, who by that time, had committed genocide on over 500,000 people, including burning people alive inside of churches, and raping and murdering women and children and displacing hundreds of thousands from their lands and their homes.

•    Obama was a member of the New Party in the USA, a group well-documented as being communists, which was a direct affront to democracy by using a theory called “fusion”, which was ruled unconstitutional, which "stole" votes from wherever the wanted to, just to win.

•    Obama has worked closely with ACORN, which has been proven to have committed voter fraud thousands of times, which especially troubles my heart, because that is a direct attack on democracy, and thus a form of election “terrorism,” and a direct attack on the country I love, and so Mr Obama is attacking democracy. (He is misusing democracy to destroy it, even as I speak.)

•    Obama has worked closely with members of Congress who are significantly to blame for the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and other economic failures, meaning we can look forward to even more economic failures with Obama as president.

•    If Obma's tax plans are implemented, he will indeed destroy a huge number of businesses in this country, and not just because John McCain says so, but so do the vast majority of business owners in the country also say so, per a recent survey. And I believe this is deliberate on Obama’s part, in order to attempt to move us closer to communism, by one day saying, if elected, “See, capitalism is a failure -- time for socialism!” Then one day, “See socialism is a failure -- time for communism.” But pure socialism and communism have been proven to be incapable of raising anyone’s standard of living, and ultimately enslave people, regardless of color, and yes all become equal, equally poor, that is. In fact the poorest people in America, on average, are better off than the average person in the average communist country.

•    He is also a bully, arrogant and an elitist. It shows in the way he carries himself. And he dismisses any critique of him as just vicious attacks (that is, so listeners will not believe anyone is telling the truth about him), which is also called re-direction.

•    While McCain told a few campaign fibs himself, I have counted dozens of Obama lies, that make Obama seem to be a habitual liar, so how can he be trusted? How can be be counted on? He can't!!!

•   The MSM, which is supposed to be a bastion of protecting freedoms, is falling for Obama, hook, line and sinker. And "sinker" is the really scary part.

•    Finally, because people vote far more with their emotions and not with their brains, I am very worried. (e.g., On “The View” the liberal hostesses, when interviewing Obama, said he was kind of sexy and sort of cute. That is hardly a good reason to vote for someone.) And poor McCain, still has his war injuries, which makes people fell uncomfortable when they look at him hobbling around a bit. Basically, its elementary school mentality, you know, calling someone “fat” for being overweight, or for that matter, “niger” for being black, or also going "ugh" when they saw Sarah Palin's son.

So with all of the above in mind, I think the best case scenario will be that Obama, if elected, will just cause a great deal of problems for America, and with the worse case scenario, he will help to usher in communism, and the destruction of our precious freedoms.

And I am trully worried about the worst-case scenario because Obama's methods follow the pattern of other communists as they rose to power, namely you dupe all the so-called disaffected people, gain their sympathy, and if elected, start to work for changes that are not for the good of the country, but for the good of the cause of communism. Yes, change is coming, if he is in power, but not for the good, for certain. With his history, "for the good of the country" and "Obama" in the same sentence are an oxymoron.


So my soft prayer is “God bless McCain, Palin and Biden” but “God damn Obama.” 

WD, great points!

Condi Rice for President!  In the early days of the primary, I was delighted to see so many African-Americans on news shows who we're not screeming about racism.  They were not the folks like sharpton or jesse and were such positive role models for all youth-both black/white.  I was filled with the sense that racism maybe was behind us. 

wdh... Amen. Excellent

wdh...

Amen.

Excellent post.

"America isn't the problem...America is the solution." ~ Rush Limbaugh

Please!

Obama and his supporters should create TV ads, and go on TV from now until the election with the winning slogan, "A Vote for me proves you're not a racist".

Please.  Call all Americans that disagree with you a racist.  Hint at it.  Talk about it at the margins.  Offer it up at any hint of disagreement.

Then wonder what happened to your coronation.

the more its played

the more its played the more the people who are being accused unjustly of being racist will start to develope racist attitudes then those who play the card will go "see" .. Im not very good at turning the other cheek ..once again most conservatives are more believers in MLKs message of judging character not color of skin .....we are headed for a PC world in ways we could never imagine .. its going to get ugly .. wait i didnt mean to slam ugly people.. wait i am not the best looking person so maybe its ok .. well probably not  ..

A guilty pleasure.

You know what? Its almost a guilty pleasure to watch the rest of the country deal with that which I have dealt with for about 30 years- false and frequent accusations of racism. I live in New Orleans and I'm white. I'm a minority in a 70% black city and considered the majority in matter of politics. William "Dollar Bill" Jefferson is my congressman. Not from my votes - I'm disenfranchised as a white Republican in a gerrymandered black congressional district. William Jefferson is in a runoff for congress with the only white candidate. Who do you think is going to win? Yet the only charges of racism are directed at the few remaining white people left in this city. I can't explain it, its my reality. I watched the transformation of New Orleans. I watched it go from maybe 30 murders a year to 400 murders a year.

Oh I've complained on blogs and so many have called me dumb for not moving. Now you get to walk in my shoes. Not only will you be oppressed, you will also be called a racist.

I'm really not wishing bad on others. I just want to see how others deal what we've dealt with for 30 years. Guilty pleasure or curiosity? I dunno.

This movie is coming to your town. All McCain said was "that one." And now he has to explain it for the simple reason that McCain is white. Jesse Jackson did not have to explain his racial slur because he is black. Welcome to my world of double standards - one for black, and one for white.

Any indefensible point or accusation you make, no matter how substantiated it may be, will be labeled as racism. It will be nuanced as racist. This is my world and it will be yours. It already is.

 

Our former DA, Eddie Jordan was ousted after years of malfeasance. It was deemed a council person (Shelley
Midura)
couldn't author the letter calling for his resignation because she is white and he is black. Incredible isn't it? Unless you live here, you really have no idea yet.

But you will.

nw... Thank you for

nw...

Thank you for sharing your story.

I know you are correct...it is affecting all of us now...it is and has been the plan with the socialist/leftist party using the msm as their bull-horn.

We really have to fight back, I fear it may be too late.

Been there tubing!

When I was in my 20's I used to go tubing in Tickfaw! It is a nice area. My family is in New Orleans so thats why I stay. Now if I could organize them all into a caravan, oh gosh, I've been to so many nicer places. I think I'd head to Nashville.

Okay Ray,

You've made the accusation, now produce the proof.

I'm fed up with hearing the idea from both the media and the Obama campaign that if for some reason you disagree with Barack Obama, you're some sort of racist, so here it is for the last time.

I'm a conservative with a distinct libertarian tilt. Or vice versa.

Whichever, I am not a socialist and Barack Obama is. Philosophically I'm about 180 out of phase with him and the far left wing of the democrat party. My differences have nothing to do with gender, religion, race, or preferred breakfast cereal.

The only time I hear about race in this election cycle is from democrats and the media which I guess is redundant.

So anyway for you yahoos who need to feel guilty about something, feel free to get with the whole sackcloth and ashes thing but don't waste your time and mine trying to lay it on me. 

 

 

You do the math!

I think Suarez should stick a logarithm in his calculus!

"religion has become a proxy for race,"

Hey, Suarez, so what's your explanation for the attacks on Palin's supposed (coz I heard she changed churches a while ago, if it matters) Pentacostalism?

Who's behind that "racial attack?"

Geez, was it always this easy?

10 Points for Ray Suarez

Ray Suarez has a history of being Robert Goren of Dick Wolf's creation in all 3 actually think what they are saying actually is more important than what came from the Mount.

Suarez hates white people in being a racist. His racism slips out in Gwen Ifill moments. It never occurs to Ray Suarez the following:

1. Spiritual people who are Christians have immense uneasy feelings about an Obama who is a spiritual fraud.

2. Military Veterans have a huge problem with an Obama whose main idea in life was being a Marxist when John McCain was laying in a POW torture room.

3. People who believe in Life have an Obama problem when he is snide about when Life begins.

4. People who believe in the 2nd Amendment have an Obama problem when he is for taking guns away.

5. Parents have a problem with an Obama who wants to fine them over his mandates on health care.

6. College age adults have an Obama problem with him wanting to dictate either a draft into the military or a draft into the peace corps trampling on their Constitutinal rights.

7. Peace advocates along with people who do not want to eat nuclear dust with an Obama who wants to blow up Pakistan.

8. People who have businesses have an Obama problem in he wants to tax them with a 60% rate.

9 Taxpayers have a problem with an Obama who wants to give a trillion dollars away to poor  3rd world people which will not reach them and end up in dictator's pockets like Odingo of Kenya.

10. Patriots have a problem with an Obama who wants to change America to a Marxist state.

Now Ray, none of that has to do with race. If one wants to talk about race, let's ask why black Jesse Jackson wanted to cut Obama's testicles off, why Jack n Jill blacks want no part of Obama as he will ruin their finances and why Ray Suarez hides behind his hatred of white people promoting a fellow Marxist in not bringing up Barack Hussein Obama is a communist intelligence mole like William Ayers.
